How would you go about moving out of your parent's house?

So, you know moving out of you parents you've got a lot of luxuries that you wouldn't generally have elsewhere. [00:01:30]

They want good things for you in most circumstances.

Use the basements, use the garage, use as much resources and kind of real estate that you have at mom and dad's house and just start that process.

As long as they see progress, even if they're the ones that are pushing you out they're going to be happy. So you should be good.

Karl Yeh:

Are there some things that I need to think about? I'm a first time mover coming out of my parent's house. What are some things that I normally wouldn't [00:02:00] think about when I'm moving

Nate Edwards:

Yeah, good question. A few things that you're going to need to do.

So, if you are leaving mom and dad's you're going to need to set yourself up with utilities, you're going to set yourself up with a media provider, you're going to need your internet, you're going to need cable.

And a lot of things too, once you start going through that process you're going to start discovering the work isn't really done on move day.

You're going to have to start updating your credit [00:02:30] cards, your banks, all of your subscriptions with your new address, but the hardest part about moving out of your parent's house is just actually doing it.

But once you do it you'll quickly figure it all out.

Karl Yeh:

Is there anything from your parent's point of view that they can help you with?

Nate Edwards:

Take as much help as you possible can. Conversely, you have to start considering how you can help your parents.

So you've been with your parents for 20 maybe even 30 years, however long you've [00:03:00] been there, so you have to kind of show your appreciation once you're actually moved out.

So those Sunday dinners are really, really important.

Once you move out it doesn't mean that you're not going to talk to your parents ever again, it's going to take more work so start talking and communicating with your parents more, and just do it. You have to do it.

Karl Yeh:

Awesome. And remember we have a video on what to know before moving out as well if you want to take a look at that.

Is there anything else Nate?

Nate Edwards: I think we're good.
